Borrowed from a friend who's a scout leader, my wife and I use "Maximum Fun has been reached" - that moment when everything HAD just been going great and someone (typically a child) gets tired/hungry/overstimulated and crashes out.

"It's a Moral Imperative" and the entire "I had the weirdest dream..."/"Why am I the only one who has that deeam?" bit from Real Genius, a movie that I'm pretty sure 95% of the people on this site have seen and 95% of the people I interact with on a daily basis have not.

Two people here know the person Jordan was based on.

also.. "I drank what?"

I tend to use the full "Getting Even is a moral imperative..."

I toss around early computing ones like

"Blue Screen" for when someone is confused or such
"Loading Estimated Time 9344 years" For something that is taking a log time.
"Error! Load Disk C and press enter" For confusion or such

When I used to have to do more formal tech support and bug logging, my favorite was ”Layer 8 error". Not enough people understand it, which may be unfortunate or fortunate depending on the case.

I more often use PEBKAC, but I like the cut of your jib...

When I do laundry I say I have to do “a turn of wash/laundry” instead of a “load of laundry”

I always thought it was a common phrase until some friends said they’ve never heard of it. So then I thought it was a local colloquialism but some people from my home town don’t say it either so now I think it’s just a thing we said at home. My mother is Dutch so maybe that’s why???

“That’ll be in the butt, Bob” (a line from when a game show host asked a contestant couple the strangest place they ever had sex…maybe Newlywed show? I’m not for sure, I was very young) Used when someone unintentionally has a tmi moment or embarrasses themselves. My wife remembered the line as well, and we thought it was a well-known moment from game show history. Turns out not so much.

Muffin time; is that time of the night that even the word muffin is funny. You've all been there, you probably have a different term for it.

We have a RPG term "Stim Patches Heal" from a super late night/early morning Shadowrun game where we let stim patches heal damage because we were too tired to read the rules.

Basically when you have been playing for so long and everyone is so tired the DM just rolls with whatever.

Several groups of friends wound up saying "sitting in the mummies lap" to mean "doing something very stupid" because a player in one of my college games listened to me describe a massive throne room in the center of a haunted monastery with a decrepit corpse in the throne and...sat in the mummy's lap. He died almost immediately when combat started.
